The 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of Xianxia Pass, Qing'ang Bangzhangjing Hamu, Mele Zhangjing Lai Daogar and the 20,000 defenders of Ming generals Ma Bao, Lin Yi, and Lu Jue have been fighting fiercely for more than a month.
Even though they tried their best, Haha Mu and Galai Dao were unable to break through Xianxia Pass.
"Zhang Jing, we have been unable to break through Xianxia Pass, and General Jingnan will be in danger." Laidao was a little anxious.
Hahamu sighed, "There is nothing we can do. The emperor only gave us 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. Although they are all elites, after all, they have few soldiers and Xianxia Pass is dangerous. I didn't expect Prince Jingjin to be defeated so miserably in Jiangxi.
The Ming army in Jiangxi is approaching western Zhejiang. Chen Duxian has to deal with both the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang and the Ming army in Jiangxi. He really can't spare the troops to reinforce us. He has no choice but to do his best and obey fate!"
When mentioning Nikan's death in battle, Galai Daoga lost his temper and could only sigh a few times.
??
While Hahamu and Galai Dauga were worried about not being able to break through Xianxia Pass and rescue Fuzhou, Zhu Hengjia was also worried about not being able to break through the Qing army's defense line.
After his army arrived in Shangrao, they did not rest and immediately launched an offensive against the Qing army.
Unexpectedly, Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan were both veteran generals who were good at conquering and fighting. Tunqi received support from these two men and relied on Sanqing Mountain, Pingyang Mountain and other mountains to hold on to the danger. The Ming army could not do anything to them for a while.
The most annoying thing is Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty. At first, this guy ran away desperately, but when he arrived in Yushan County, he broke out with bravery and refused to retreat. Once he got to know him, he realized that this guy was the governor of Jiangxi, and Yushan was controlled by the Qing army.
The last Jiangxi county town. The Qing court's military law was strict. The governor of Jiangxi lost the entire Jiangxi. Not only was he guilty, but his whole family might be sent to Ningguta as slaves. So Governor Cai became ruthless and defended Yushan City. Even if he died in battle, he would not be able to survive.
It is better than the whole family suffering.
"Hey! Since I raised my army alone, I have won every battle and conquered every attack. I didn't expect that the small Yushan City could not be defeated." Zhu Hengjia sighed.
Counselor Liu Maoxia said: "Jianguo, with your powerful force, it will be a matter of time to capture Yushan. However, it is not the best strategy to fortify the city with troops. Our army's goal is Nanjing, not Yushan. After a long time, reinforcements came from Nanjing.
It will not be easy to attack. It is better to send a general to garrison here. You can lead the army from Raozhou to the north and take Nanjing directly."
"Well, what Liu Qing said makes sense."
"Supervising the country, I heard that the main force of the Qing navy in Fujian has been annihilated by our army. You can order Sun Gui, Marquis of Dinghai, to lead the main force of the Fujian navy into the mouth of the Yangtze River, capture Chongming Island, and contain the Qing army in southern Zhili."<
/p>
"Good!"
Zhu Hengjia ordered Yuan Zongdi and Hui Zhiguan to lead 30,000 troops to garrison near Shangrao to prevent the Qing army from Zhejiang. He led an army of 170,000 from Raozhou to the north and south to Zhili. He also ordered Sun Gui to lead 30,000 Fujian naval forces to the north.
Capture Chongming Island and threaten the Yangtze River waterway of the Qing Dynasty, leaving only Zheng Bin's 10,000 naval divisions to monitor the remnants of the Qing Fujian Navy.
??
People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has never been the case in ancient times.
Niu Hulu Chen Tai, the Qing Jingnan general, no longer had the high spirits he had when he just went south. At this moment, he only had 40,000 remnants left, huddled in Fuzhou Prefecture. To be precise, only half of Fuzhou Prefecture was left. The Ming Army
He successively captured Luoyuan, Gutian, Minqing, Yongfu, and Fuqing counties, leaving only two counties in Fuzhou Prefecture, namely Min County and Lianjiang.
But it’s not all bad news. The Ming army has divided 20,000 people to guard Xianxia Pass. I learned the news a while ago that the main force of the Ming army’s Fujian Navy has moved north to Chongming Island. The Ming army currently besieging Fuzhou only has 60,000 land divisions and
With 10,000 navy troops, the pressure is much less.
But when Chen Tai heard this "good news", he was not happy at all. The Ming army marched north to South Zhili, and even if the court had reinforcements, they would only reinforce South Zhili first. He would be in trouble for a long time.
No reinforcements were received.
What worries him even more is that there is not much food in Min County, which can only last for half a year.
Chen Tai was worried when the 63-year-old veteran Hershey Shifu walked into the tent and said, "Commander, sitting in isolation is not an option. If this continues, morale will collapse. We must take the initiative to improve morale."<
/p>
Chen Tai knew that this veteran general had always been resourceful. Now that the emperor was in charge, the direction of the court had changed. His nephew Hershey Sonny was one of the emperor's favorite ministers, and the old general naturally followed the rising tide.
p>
Not daring to be negligent, he asked respectfully: "What's the old general's clever plan?"
"The general thought that because the Ming army had won consecutive battles, it must underestimate our army. He could ambush the Ming army in Xuefeng Mountain."
Chen Tai thought for a while and praised: "The old general is indeed the wise general of our Eight Banners! Although Xuefeng Mountain is not high, it has endless mountains and eighteen bends. It is indeed a good place for an ambush!"
"Commander, if you have good soldiers, it's not enough to have too many. You can choose more than 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush in Xuefeng Mountain. Too many will only cause trouble."
Chen Tai nodded and personally took Xi Fu, Ji Xiha, Dong Alai, Suk Saha and other generals with fifteen thousand elite troops to lie down in Xuefeng Mountain. The three people behind him were all famous generals in the Eight Banners, especially
This is Baya Lahuzhangjing Suk Saha, who is also known as having the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand people.
??
Xuefeng Mountain is not high, the highest peak is only 240 feet, but it is winding and rugged for a full 120 miles. It is named because "there is still snow on the top of the mountain in summer".
The vanguard of the Ming army, Prince Liyang Jincai, led an army of fifteen thousand and was at the forefront.
"Call!"
Qianzong Liu Guoxuan came to Deputy Pioneer Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce and said, "Deputy Pioneer, the terrain here is rugged, so we must send out scouts and be careful."
After Liu Guoxuan surrendered, he was assigned to Dong Fangce's command. Dong Fangce saw that he was quite brave and strategic, so he still entrusted him with the post of General Qian.
"Well, what you said makes sense. I'll go find Uncle Liyang and tell him."
Dong Fangce drove his horse to Wang Jincai and said, "Uncle Liyang, this place is very dangerous. Don't rush in. You can send scouts to explore the way first before proceeding."
Wang Jincai said displeasedly: "In the battle of Beixi, our army wiped out the main force of the Tatars, and then won consecutive battles. The enemy was already frightened, how could there be an ambush? Even if there was, I would kill him without leaving a trace.
”.
Dong Fangce continued to persuade Wang Jincai, but Wang Jincai became furious and said, "Since you are afraid, stay in the rear, and I will lead the troops ahead." So he ignored Dong Fangce and led the troops in front himself.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Dong Fangce had no choice but to lead his army to follow, secretly ordering his subordinates to be on guard.
The army marched to Wenshu Terrace and suddenly heard the sound of cannons. Ji Xiha led the army to block the entrance to the valley near Zhenshan Huacheng Pavilion. Chen Tai and Xifu led the army to fight out from Luohan Rock. Dong Alai fought out from Kumu Temple. Su Ke
Saha breaks out from the grinding stone.
Wang Jincai was frightened, his troops were in a panic, and he quickly set up his formation.
Suk Saha led 800 Baya soldiers to attack Wang Jincai's central army. At this time, the selection standards of Baya soldiers were not as strict as those in the Nurhaci and Huang Taiji eras, but they were still the best soldiers in the Qing court. Su
The Kesaha tribe originally had more than a thousand people, but so far after the bloody battle, only 800 are left. Although the number is small, they all look like crazy tigers and are unstoppable.
General Hong Zheng of the Ming Dynasty saw the Qing army coming with a fierce force, bent his bow and arrow, and hit Suksahama in the belly.
"咴聿聿", the war horse neighed, jumped up with its front hooves, and threw Suk Saha off the horse.
Suk Saha is worthy of being the Baya Lazhangjing who was selected from thousands of people. His martial arts skills are really good. He rolled on the spot, took off his horse power, fought like a carp, and attacked Hong Zheng with two swords in his hands.
Hong Zheng was shocked and had no time to resist, so he was chopped off his horse.
Suk Saha grabbed Hong Zheng's war horse, got on his horse, and rushed towards Wang Jincai to kill the flag.
Wang Jincai was frightened, so he turned his horse and walked back. Melezhang Jingdong Alai on the flank came and killed Wang Jincai, smashing Wang Jincai's head with a mace.
Seeing that the Qing army was approaching fiercely, Dong Fangce wanted to lead his troops to retreat, but Liu Guoxuan hurriedly stopped, "Deputy vanguard, the Qing army must have blocked the entrance of the valley by now. Moreover, the mountain roads here are rugged and the army's formation is in chaos, so it is easy to be annihilated by the enemy.
If you don't show the general's flag, collect the broken troops, and form a formation to defend, the army of the general Pinglu is right behind us. As long as we hold on for a few hours, reinforcements will come."
Dong Fangce followed his words and displayed the general's flag at Chongsheng Temple at the southern foot of Xuefeng Mountain. Seeing the general's flag, Wang Jincai's defeated troops gathered towards Chongsheng Temple.
The Ming army set up a dense military formation at Chongsheng Temple. The Qing army fought bravely, but could not break through the Ming army's formation for a while.
"Swish, swish, swish", Liu Guoxuan's arrows hit every target, killing several Qing soldiers Niu Lu Zhangjing.
"Good archery skills!"
"President Liu Qian is mighty!"
Seeing Liu Guoxuan's miraculous archery skills, the morale of the Ming army was lifted.
Suk Saha was furious and led hundreds of Baya soldiers to attack the Ming army.
Liu Guoxuan shot an arrow. When Suksak heard the sound of the arrow, he smiled disdainfully and turned slightly sideways. His Baya soldiers were all wearing double armor, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate their armor at all.<
/p>
Unexpectedly, Liu Guoxuan's arm strength was amazing, he could pull a three-stone strong bow, and shot Suksaha in the right side with one arrow. Suksaha was injured and retreated.
The two sides fought fiercely for three hours, but the Qing army was still unable to capture Chongsheng Temple.
Reinforcements from the Ming army arrived one after another.
Gan Hui led 2,000 soldiers and horses to the entrance of the valley. He saw that the area around Zhenshan Huacheng Pavilion had been occupied by the Qing army.
His subordinates advised him: "General, our army is small. It is better to wait for the subsequent armies to arrive and then fight into the valley together."
Gan Hui was furious, "How could it be possible to see Paoze in trouble and not rescue him because he had few soldiers?"
This "Hero of Haicheng", regardless of the small number of troops, led two thousand soldiers and horses to attack Huacheng Pavilion bravely.
The Qing general Ji Xiha who was guarding Huacheng Pavilion hurriedly attacked Gan Hui.
Gradually, Baofeng Boluo Chengyao and other Ming troops arrived. Ji Xiha could not resist and asked Chen Tai for help.
After seeing Jixiha's military report, Chen Tai let out a long sigh, knowing that it was impossible to completely wipe out the Ming army in the valley, but fortunately, the Ming army's spirit had been dampened, and this battle could be considered a small victory.
"The armies form formations and retreat!"
"Woo~woo~woo", the retreat horn sounded, and the various Qing army units withdrew from Xuefeng Mountain in an orderly manner. These fifteen thousand Qing troops were all elites. They retreated as fast as they attacked and soon disappeared without a trace.
No trace.
The army of Pinglu General Yan Tianfeng rushed to Xuefeng Mountain and counted the battle damage. They found that there were more than 5,000 casualties. He was furious and wanted to investigate Wang Jincai's crime, but he had already died in the army.
He called Liu Guoxuan and asked, "Are you Liu Guoxuan?"
"It's the last general."
"What is your current position?"
"The last general is currently serving as the Chief Minister of Nanjing."
Yan Tianfeng smiled and said, "From today on, you are no longer President Qian. You will be promoted to Nanjing Guerrilla."
